I was mailed a recall notice from the manufacture a while back and was going to need to get the work completed in order to renew my CA registration. A smog cert was also needed for the renewal. I took my vehicle to McPeeks Dodge/Ram for the recall on 10/24/24. On 11/21/24 I went to get my vehicle smog checked. The smog station said that I had passed the emissions portion, but some of the monitors were still in the "not ready" state, and he could not pass the vehicle until all monitors were ready. He said that it was likely related to the recall work that was done at the dealership. I then contacted the dealership's service dept and they said that the vehicle needed to be driven a certain amount and a certain way, and for approximately $700.00 they could have one of their technicians drive it, to get it out of its current state, but they could not guarantee that it would get fixed, so I declined their offer. They explained that it needed to be driven a certain way and that it was "pretty easy", so I drove it exactly how they explained it, several times and it is still in its "not ready" state. Frustrated, since the dealership never explained this to me before the recall work was done, I reached out to Ram, but they would never return my call. After about 3 weeks of almost daily calls, I spoke to a person (who would not reveal their name of position with the company) and they said that because of the year of the vehicle and because I did not want the dealership to "attempt" to fix it, that they couldn't help me with this. Sorry, but I refuse to give my money to fix a manufacture's recall issue. This is my work vehicle that allows me to provide for my family. Please assist me in resolving this issue or please refer me to somebody that can. Thank You.
